Some of the voices re-emerging are former employees with unresolved grievances, including dissatisfaction with legitimate organisational outcomes and recruitment decisions. While we will not engage in personal narratives, we note the continued effort to distort public perception under the guise of whistleblowing.

We remain committed to transparency, accountability and full cooperation with lawful investigations, including the criminal case lodged by OUTA. However, we will not engage in public mudslinging. The matter is before the appropriate authorities, and we will account through the proper legal channels — not through speculation or agenda-driven commentary.

Our focus remains on the work: delivering impact, strengthening systems and driving transformation across the sectors we serve.

Additionally, previously submitted Special Projects have not been finalised, as they also require Board approval.

No proposals will be considered until a new Board is appointed. We will notify stakeholders once the process officially opens.

Thank you for your understanding. #ServicesSETA #PublicNotice #SkillsDevelopment
